    hmm

    of course i delete index.html and when now u point www.dental.am u see www.dental.am/index.php

    but if somebody find any backlink to www.dental.am/index.html he try to open this page. and if i delete redirect from .html to .php .. he will reach 404 error.

    thats' why i put this redirect.

    so if i do as u told, i don't get anything more as now ... (just now i haven't .html page)

    correct me if i'm wrong.

    thank you

    I don't get why you guys don't get it.

    Do you know what this search is supposed to do? It searches for documents that have the phrase www.dental.am written in it. Just like this search is looking for (and finding) pages where the phrase dental.am occurs.

    That search is NOT looking for the site's metrics at all!

    T0PS3O,

    I believe you are wrong.
    "www.site.com" or "http://www.site.com" is a "special" search (in Google) that will always give you the information G has about the site, not if "www.site.com" exists in another page. If no information is found, that means that page is not in the index.
    This is always bad news.

    Try it yourlself:
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=www.google.com&btnG=Search
    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=www.yahoo.com&btnG=Search

    Why only one result? I am positive those terms show up thousands of times all over the web.

    I think becouse google think you are cloaking your website, I mean showing some webpage to the S.E. bots and other webpage to your visitors.

    I have the same issue with my site. However, I won't list it for privacy purposes.

    The primary difference I have compared to this thread starter is I don't have a redirect from www.site.com to www.site.com/index.html.

    All my internal links to my main page to to /, all incoming links to go the main pages / and google does cache my main page every few days. I have around 180,000 pages indexed in google.

    I can't figure out what is going on. If you do www.site.com in google, it shows nothing. If you do www.site.com/forums you get results. Interestingly, my PR is that of the www.site.com/forums page as though this is my main page.

    Another interesting tidbit that might help somewhere.

    I used to have a ton of duplicate indexed pages, some showing up as "site.com/whatever" and the duplicate showing up as "www.site.com/whatever". I setup a mod_rewrite to rid myself of "site.com/whatever" and in less than a week I watched my pages go from around 190,000 to 80,000 indexed in google, now all the "site.com" pages are gone and MORE pages have been indexed.

    Of course, now "site.com" doesn't exist in the index, and "www.site.com" still doesn't. My site has been online 5+ years and has a ranking of 23,000 in Alexa.

    I still get tons of traffic from Google, so I have no real immediate worries, but it seems odd that Toolbar PR shows n/a for my site's main page.

    no there isn't any cloaking.

    the only difference that traffic from google is decreased (before 2-3K, now 3-10)

    and one interesting think esle

    pls check my site in google directory listing.
    my site is listed in dmoz (google dir) 4 times and on all pages it was dropped to the bottom with missed http://directory.google.com/images/cleardot.gif image

    what can it mean?

    for exapmle

    http://directory.google.com/Top/Regional/Asia/Armenia/Health/
    http://www.google.com/Top/Health/Conditions_and_Diseases/Immune_Disorders/Immune_Deficiency/AIDS/
    etc
